Heart of Summer

Along roadsides, on the banks of ditches and in old, abandoned gardens grow plants that often go unnoticed or have become anonymous “weeds”, their beauty and purpose overlooked or forgotten. A closer look reveals their remarkable vitality: the strength to push a stem through asphalt and withstand a rapidly changing world, all while carrying ancient wisdom within them. This inspired the exhibition: to bring the unnoticed into view and share the stories held by these wise plants - stories our ancestors also knew.

The exhibition “SüdaSuvi” (“Heart of Summer”) brings together photography and photographic manipulation. We began the project in August 2025. Herbalist Maret Allikas set the pace, helping photographic artist Höije Rahu capture the fleeting moments of plants in season.

Let us bathe in the light and beauty of blossoms.
